A clutch having two stages for applying varied torque between an input shaft and an output shaft includes a clutchpack having input friction plates and output friction plates. The clutch further includes a first spring configured to apply a first pressure to the clutchpack to compress the clutchpack. The clutch further includes a second spring configured to apply a second pressure to the clutchpack to compress the clutchpack. The clutch further includes an engagement nut configured to move in response to rotation of the output shaft relative to the input shaft to compress the second spring in order to increase an amount of the second pressure applied to the clutchpack.
